Hiking

The Fan Bay Deep Shelters are a series of linked tunnel structures carved into the white cliffs of Dover at a depth of 23 meters during the Second World War to house the Fan Bay Artillery Battery. The guided tour of the facility costs 6 pounds.

The complex belongs to the National Trust and with a membership card you get free entry into the World War II tunnels that were driven into the cliffs.

Hiking

£6 for an hour’s tour by the National Trust. Well worth it! Go 125 steps underground and tour the tunnels from WWII
